We visited the Big Walnut Nature Preserve in west central Indiana.
The preserve totals 3500 acres in various parcels throughout Putnam County.
Our first hike was on the Tall Timbers Trail
in this donated 120 acre tract.
The inviting beginning of the Tall Timbers Trail.
Lots of old growth trees such as this beech tree.
Christmas fern & wild ginger
Lovely wooded ravines
The trail as it climbs out out the creekbed.
Face in a tree, carved by woodpeckers.
Next, we drove to Hall Woods in the Nature Preserve.
Next, we drove to Hall Woods in the Nature Preserve.
We hiked a short trail where we found this cabin.
The trail goes down to the scenic Big Walnut Creek.
Where we saw schools of these large fish.
It was a beautiful site to visit and we had the place to ourselves.
